Posh Hotel Pools In NYC With Day Passes That You Can’t Miss This Summer

Living in the concrete jungle has its countless perks, but quick access to authentic sand and waves isn’t one of them. Although jet-setting to the East End and international islands is always a blast, sometimes staying local sounds so much better. For those days when you want to catch some rays but stay in New York, Haute Living has rounded up the city’s most luxurious hotel pools that offer day passes for a dive in the water.
